Read the following very carefully.

There is no money.

There; Government policy in a nutshell. They will flog off, scrap or postpone anything and everything which isn't guaranteed to lose them the next election. Any spare cash will be spent on stuff which might win them the next election.

Harriers don't even register.

Foreign policy will continue to be made based on what the military says it can do with what little they have, plus 20% extra when cock-ups occur. This has been true for the last 15 years at least.
